Correlation between Electronic Configuration and Magnetic Stability in Dysprosium Single Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Pietro Gambardella, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Edgar Fernandes, Jean-Guillaume De Groot, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic

Single atom magnets offer the possibility of magnetic information storage in the most fundamental unit of matter. Identifying the parameters that control the stability of their magnetic states is crucial to design novel quantum magnets with tailored proper ...

Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Pietro Gambardella, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

Large effect of metal substrate on magnetic anisotropy of Co on hexagonal boron nitride

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic

We combine x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-raymagnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) data with first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations and amultiorbital many-body Hamiltonian approach to u ...

Understanding the Superior Stability of Single-Molecule Magnets on an Oxide Film

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

The stability of magnetic information stored in surface adsorbed single-molecule magnets is of critical interest for applications in nanoscale data storage or quantum computing. The present study combines X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, density function ...

Magnetic Stability of Single Lanthanide Atoms on Graphene

Romana Baltic

This thesis presents a study of the magnetism of surface supported atoms performed principally with XMCD spectroscopy and multiplet calculations. The objective of the research was twofold: first, to study the underlying interactions and conditions governi ...

4 f occupancy and magnetism of rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal substrates

Harald Brune, Pietro Gambardella, Stefano Rusponi, Sebastian Stepanow, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic

We report x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements as well as multiplet calculations for Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm atoms adsorbed on Pt(111), Cu(111), Ag(100), and Ag(111). In the gas phase, all four elements are divalent a ...

Magnetic Hysteresis in Er Trimers on Cu(111)

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic

We report magnetic hysteresis in Er clusters on. Cu(111) starting from the size-of three atoms. combining Xray magnetic circular dichroism, scanning tunneling microscopy, and mean-field nucleation theory, we determine the size dependent magnetic properties ...

Magnetic remanence in single atoms

Harald Brune, Pietro Gambardella, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Zeljko Sljivancanin, Edgar Fernandes, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

A permanent magnet retains a substantial fraction of its saturation magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field. Realizing magnetic remanence in a single atom allows for storing and processing information in the smallest unit of matter. We s ...

Strong antiferromagnetic exchange between manganese phthalocyanine and ferromagnetic europium oxide

Stefano Rusponi, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Christian Wäckerlin, Romana Baltic

We report on the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between a submonolayer of Mn(II)-phthalocyanine molecules and a ferromagnetic Eu(II)-oxide thin film. The exchange energy is larger by nearly two orders of magnitude compared to previous studies involvin ...
